Hundreds of voters (and children) are receiving unsolicited text messages that are urging them to vote against President Obama because he "supports transgender marriage." The text messages also falsely claim that “Obama stole $716 Billion in Medicare" and “Obama is using your tax dollars to fund… abortions."

Among the recipients was the 13-year-old daughter of New York Times writer Jonathan Weisman, who tweeted, “Hey [email protected], not cool texting my daughter your little hit piece. I’d like you to stop it.”

His daughter received the message: “Obama denies protection to babies who survive abortions. Obama is just wrong.”

Politico.com does not claim that these messages were created or endorsed by Mitt Romney or his campaign, but does report that the text messages have come from email addresses including: republicanett.com, votegopett.com, aiccomett.com and informedett.com.
